AB  - The Citadel, a regional, teaching-focused institution, does not have a separate review and acceptance procedure for incoming engineering students. If accepted by the university, then the student is a member of the engineering program by simply declaring an engineering major. While open enrollment allows a diverse group of students to pursue engineering, it also leads to challenges related to student preparedness and retention. As documented in prior work, the Introduction to Civil Engineering course was successfully redesigned following a student success model. In addition to curricular reforms, a variety of co-curricular efforts have been implemented to encourage student retention, including Supplemental Instruction, Math Lab, First-Year Outreach Dinners, professional organization meetings, and subject-area tutoring. A survey was developed and administered to first-year students to capture the impact of several support and enrichment services on their perceived academic success, community integration, enjoyment, and related attitudes. Overall, First-Year Outreach Dinners were overall most impactful, as they overwhelmingly supported community engagement, encouraged notable improvements in perceived academic success, and led to improved attitudes towards community integration and academic atmosphere. Future introductory civil engineering classes will encourage students to attend these events more frequently
